From Atlanta to the Sea-"

1t was thirty.one days after start
ing from Atlanta before Sherman re-
opened communication with the
North. In that time he had destroy.
ed 200 miles OF railroad, and broken
up every connection between the con.
tederate forces east and west of
Georgia. He had done more than
500, 100000 worth Of damage, con.
sumed the corn and fodder, as we'll as
cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry of a
region 800 miles long and sixty broad,
carried away 10, 900 horses and mules
and liberated countless numbers of
slaves. Sixty thousand men and 49,.
600 animals had been abundantly
fed, and when the troops reached the
coast they needed no provisions but
bread. They started with 5000 head
OF cattle and arrived with 10000.
The teams were in splendid condition
and not a wagon was lost on the
road. The army had captured so
many horses that Sherman ordered
them to be shot because it democrat.
lied the troops to ride.
The success Of the campaign was
equal to it's daring, and although it's
dangers proved less in reality than in
anticipation, the skill of the com.
mander and the courage of the men
are none the less to be admired. The
romantic character of the march Is
unsurpassed. That an army should
disappear from sight for month,
marching unharmed through hostile
regions, it's whereabouts unknown to
its friends, and emerge at last as if
out Of wilderness, with undiminish-
ed numbers and increased renown, is
a circumstance that equals in interest
any in history; and so long as Ameri-
can boys and girls read the accounts
of the nations achievements they
will find no chapter more fascinating
than that which tells OF Sherman's
march to the sea.--St. Nicholas.

In 1890 will end the term OF 100
years during which the cities of Bos-

The money was to be loaned out to
young married arti6cers and the trust

that while in Boston the So, 900 has

1t was told of the wife of q far West

parlor of q hotel, after having sent
up her card to the wife of another
Senator living at tho hotel, her
attention was attracted to little
group OF ladies gathered about the
diamond merchant who had spread his
wares on the piano Cor their inspec-
ton. She listened to their "ahs'' and
"ohs," and little screams of ecstatic
admiration. and then crossed the
room and joined the group. She han

indifference blended with tie air of q
connoisseur. The other ladies, wives
OF Congressman and Government off,

she picked up great carbuncle pend
ant set in q double row of pearls and
diamonds, and said:
"What do you value that at?'
Seventeen hundred dollars" was
the reply.
The lady opened her reticule, took
out g. check for the amount, put the
pendant in her pocket and calmy re-
sumed her chair. She paralyzed the
group of ladies, and at the same time
added another jewel to q collection
which is already one of the richest
owned by any American lady.

Girls Who Court BEAUTY.

From the San Francisco Post.
The handsomest woman ever saw
was one who took great care of her
health. When I knew her she was
over 80, but no girl of 16 that have
ever seen had roster cheeks or brighter
eyes. OF course she was naturally
fine looking, but the attention she
gave to matters of hygiene added to
and preserved her beauty. What did
she do: 1don't know that 1 can re-
count all, but I remember her telling
me she took sponge bath every
morning; was particular about the
ventilation of her apartments; took
long walks when she could; ate but
little meat, much fruit and cereals
whenever she could get them. Anoth-
er thing which she did which she tried
without success to get me to do,
she drank her coffee without milk or
cream, diluted with water.
The reason she took her coffee so
was because her physicians told her it
was healthier to drink it in this way.
Whether the practice added to her
On the whole, she was certainly repaid
for her systematic habits, and as GER
tainly there was nothing arduous
about the performance of them. Nor
was there anything bizarre about
them, as, it seems to me, there is
about the following account read of
a Chicago belle:
ITO keep the suppleness OF her fig
ure, she stands one hour daily, fifteen
minutes at time, with her hands OH
her hips, before q long mirror, and,
bending her knees out from each 9TH
er,she sinks slowly down to the floor as
low as possible, then as slowly upris-
ing, meantime moving her arms in any
direction to their utmost length, out
or up. forward or back, until, when
! she stands erect, they are ready to be
placed on her hips again.
Each movement is repeated, every
time q little accelerated, until at the
end of thirteen minutes it is done
quickly, and q fine color is in her
cheek. She then lies down on a perfectly
fiat couch, without a pillow until her
breath comes smooth and regular, as
it will in the two minutes left in her
quarter of an hour. When she plays

may be thought of it besides. It is

grace OF her own form, identifying her
complexion, and making her strongey
